CARD-PAINTING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent Patented June 19, 1906.

Application filed February 16, 1906. Serial No. 301,386.

citizen of the United'States, residing at N o.

510 Schubert avenue,

Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Card-Paintin Machine, of which the following is a speci cation.

My nvention relates to machines designed to apply liquid paint to one side of long sheets roll of paper thus made being the gears 10 and 11.

of paper. Sheets of paper thus painted are prepared in as many co ors, each sheet having its own color, as may be desired and are later cut in small pieces, which are secured upon large cards to be used in advertising paints of different colors. I

The object of my invention is to take rolls of paper as they come from the factory and by passing them through the mechanism described below to coat one side of the paper with paint applied in liquid form. I accomplish this object by means of the machinery described belowand illustrated in the accom panying drawings, in which Figure. 1 is a front elevationof my card.- painting machine. Fig. 2 is a ve'rtical section of the same, taken on the line 2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective viewof my machine.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawin s, 5 is a spool on which paper is wound at t e paper-mill, the ready for sale. This spool is pivoted in and etween the up-' rights 6 6, secured in the back part of the framework of the machine.

7 and 8 are rollers pivoted in and between the front uprights 9 9 of the machine. These rollers are made, preferably, of composition, but may be made of steel, wood, or any other suitable material. The rollers are fitted with To the journal of the latteris secured the screw-threaded bolt 12. This bolt passes vertically through the small frame 13, which is secured on the outside of the uprights 9 9, the top of the frame being pierced with an opening screw-threaded to fit the bolt. The latter is provided at its top with a head or small fixed wheel, so it may be operated by the hand. This device is'used to raise or lower the roller 8. The j ournal-box of the roller 8 is elongated, so as to permit such adjustment of the roller.

14is a small roller fitted in the uprights 6 6 and is designed for passing the paper over it before the paper passes betweeErollers 7 and 8. The roller 14 will be revolved friction with the sheet of paper. The auxillary shaft 15 is pivoted in the uprights 6 6 and has a sprocket-wheel on each end corresponding with like wheel on the end of the journal of the roller 7. The shaft 16 is pivoted in the uprights 9 9 near their top. Th1S shaft is furnished with a sprocket-wheel corresponding withanother like sprocket-wheel, also secured on the journal extension of the auxiliary shaft 14. Sprocket-chains 17 and 18 engage, respectively with the sprocket-wheel on the journal of the roller 7 and the journal of the auxilia shaft 15 and with the second sprocket-whee on the latter journal and that of the shaft 16-.

. 19 is a paint-trough located on the top of the adjusting device, which consists of the table 20, upon which the trough 19 is placed,

the lever 21, pivoted at its fulcrum in the I framework at the point 22 and pivoted at the end of its short arm to the upri ht 23, which is secured to the under side of the top of the table. The lever and upright sustaining the table are provided with a lockin sisting of the ratchet 24 and the latch 25.

Power can be applied by use of a pulley secured on the journal of the roller 7 carrying the belt to the driving-pulley of'any engine of well-known construction, or a sprocket-wheel and sprocket-chain can be used in like man:

ner, or power can be applied by hand, using a crank secured to the journal of said roller, or power can be applied in any other suitable manner.

4 The machine is operated as follows: The paint-trough is filled with liquid paint and the trou h is adjusted to allow the roller 7 to take up t e proper quantity of paint to be applied to the sheet of paper as it passes between the rollers 7 and 8. As the paint is used the trough is adjusted again and again, as may be necessary. The spool of paper 1s secured in its journals in the upright 6 6, the ed e of the sheet is then inserted between the device conrol ers 7 and 8, the latter having been properly I adjusted as to height.

and, descending as that shaft continues to revolve, the paper is carried away by link-belt mechanism and is thus disposed of bysuch mechanism, which is of well-known construction. 1

Having full described my invention, what- I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is.-

As power is applied the sheet is carried by hand over the shaft 16 Y i i e e'egee'e f 1 Ini'a eerd peintinggieaehine, theeombi-,
